Hilton has revealed a new phase of growth in Türkiye with the signing of five properties across four of its brands, reinforcing its 70-year presence in the country. The announcement includes Antalya’s first Hilton Hotels & Resorts hotel, further expansion in Istanbul, and a new Hilton Garden Inn in Kocaeli’s industrial zone.
The latest signings also provide a boost to Hilton’s lifestyle portfolio, with two additional Tapestry Collection by Hilton hotels planned for Istanbul. Lifestyle brands now represent nearly 20% of Hilton’s development pipeline in Türkiye.

Mike Collini, Vice President of Development for Central and Eastern Europe at Hilton, said, “Türkiye remains a key strategic market for Hilton, where we continue to see significant potential for ongoing expansion. The successful 2025 debuts of both Tapestry Collection and Canopy have reinforced the strong momentum of our lifestyle brands, reflecting travellers’ growing appetite for distinctive, locally inspired experiences.”
Among the newly announced projects is Hilton Antalya City Centre, set to open in 2028. The 254-room newbuild hotel will feature extensive meeting and event facilities, including a grand ballroom, multiple meeting rooms, spa and wellness facilities, indoor and rooftop pools, and a range of dining venues.
In Istanbul, DoubleTree by Hilton Istanbul Maçka is scheduled to open in spring 2026, offering 109 rooms in close proximity to Nişantaşı and Taksim. The hotel will include dining venues, a rooftop restaurant and bar, meeting spaces, and wellness facilities.
Hilton will also add two Tapestry Collection by Hilton properties in Istanbul. Gist Istanbul, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, opening in 2027, will feature 46 rooms near the Bosphorus, Galataport, and major transport links. Hotel Istanbul Şişli, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, expected to open in 2028, will offer 48 rooms in one of the city’s key commercial districts, along with meeting space and fitness facilities.
Further expanding beyond major urban centres, Hilton Garden Inn Kocaeli Dilovası will become the city’s first internationally branded hotel when it opens in 2027. Located in the Industrial Zone, the 104-room property will include a large multifunction hall, meeting facilities, wellness amenities, and dining options tailored to business and long-stay travellers.
All Hilton properties in Türkiye will participate in the Hilton Honours loyalty programme, offering members access to points, exclusive benefits, and digital services when booking directly with Hilton.
